Acknowledgments

The operational plans for coring, downhole measurements, and wireline logging at the two NanTroSEIZE subduction inputs sites were originally scheduled for implementation aboard the JOIDES Resolution, and we thank members of the United States Implementing Organization operations group and staff scientists who assisted with those planning efforts. We also thank Tom Janacek, former Vice President of Operations at IODP Management International, for his steady hand during multiple postponements and cancellations of the expedition.
